The folks at Fox have sent IGN the latest trailer for the upcoming MACHETE.
For those are not familar with this, Machete started as a fake trailer for the GRINDHOUSE project. In the end, Robert Rodriguez decided to make a film of it and enlisted the help of Ethan Maniquis. It opens in theaters on September 3 and stars Danny Trejo, Jessica Alba, Robert De Niro, Michelle Rodriguez, Lindsay Lohan, Cheech Marin, Jeff Fahey, Don Johnson and Steven Seagal.
What we have here is some pulpy goodness. The original trailer rocked and the movie based on it looks damn entertaining.
The feature version of the trailer finds Machete (Trejo) a renegade former Mexican Federale, roaming the streets of Texas after a shakedown from drug lord Torrez (Seagal). Reluctantly, Machete takes an offer from spin doctor Benz (Fahey) to assassinate McLaughlin (De Niro) a corrupt Senator. Double crossed and on the run Machete braves the odds with the help of Luz (Rodriguez), a saucy taco slinger; Padre (Marin), his “holy” brother; and April (Lohan), a socialite with a penchant for guns. All while being tracked by Sartana (Alba), a sexy ICE agent with a special interest in the blade slinger.
